North Korean engineers after taking a look — nothing to worry about too much. FPVs assembled from AliExpress parts are a far better investment.

Usually there's quite a lot to learn from how other engineers solve stuff regardless.
Electronics and armor packages are good, but last solid references DPRK had were t-62 license and a few smuggled t-72 from the middle east (Korea did buy a license right before the collapse of the Soviet union, but no tech was transferred).
And as we know from type 96 v type 99 story, there was more than enough tech in t-72 to copy diligently. Leopard 2a4 is late 1970s tech, for all it's antiquity, in industrial sense, it's younger than 72 and especially 62.
Sure, but its not exactly something game changer, though.
Yeah but at this point its fairly likely the DPRK has had access to the T-90M which provides more valuable insight relative to their own doctrines and industrial capabilities than a Leo 2A4, outside of the powerpack.
Tech wise, a T-90M is a far more modern tank than the A4 and the A6 in several aspects. They
If you start counting from the baseline T-72, sure. But like I said, there is a reason why both A4 was developed and the M1 had to be uparmored and upgunned.
Like i was saying previously, it will be much more interesting to find out what tech DPRK got or inspected in Russia that we don't know about. Russia captured Leopard 2A6s for instance. From the Abrams, apart from looking with interest how it's made and it's systems, i doubt they will be greatly interested in many things apart from the turbine engine, though i don't think anyone sane would put a turbine on a tank these days.
The Russians use a turbine on T 80 tanks. They operate better in Arctic conditions.
Make that 2 Kirpi's lmao
Yes, but it was developed in the same era as the M1 tanks, when turbines are arguably much better than diesel in any way except costs and fuel consumption. Diesel engines have improved so much but tiny turbines constrained by size and cooling have not. The sole advantage turbines now have is the quick acceleration it provides but is now being superseded by hybrid electric systems.

looks like very soon Russian have some su57 based in NK a solution against UN resolution not to supply Korea something they don’t have previously or at least they might stationed couple of squad of su35 flying with Russian pilots etc
thank you
